This is an easy, wonderful recipe that is simple enough for an everyday meal but good enough for company. It makes a large amount, so it feeds plenty of people. I serve it with steamed broccoli covered in a cheese sauce and fresh bread.—Christine Eilerts, Tulsa, Oklahoma

This is a favorite at our house. My family was hooked the first time I made it. I actually substitued italian diced tomatoes with tomatoes with green chilies because that is what I had. It actually gave it a nice kicked up spicy flavor.

YUM! My crew really enjoyed this. I did add a couple extra dashes of Italian seasoning and crushed a couple cloves of garlic & thru in. I will definitely make again and maybe throw in a few extra veggies...this should camoflage them nicely from my little picky eaters.
